The Lord is On Your Side

Recently, I’ve been using Psalm 124 in my daily devotions. It really spoke to me this morning, so I’m sharing it with you.

If it had not been the LORD
who was on our side
—let Israel now say—
if it had not been the LORD 
who was on our side,
when our enemies attacked us,
then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
then the flood would have swept us away;
the torrent would have gone over us;
then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the hunters;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth. (NRSVue)
